TT31, the tomb of Khonsu , also called To (or Ta) .in the valley of the nobles -luxor -thebes

He , gives the place of honour to "His son, the high-priest of Montu, Lord of Tod, Khonsu, who brought into the world Tauseret".
He is in the same priestly garments as the ones which have just been
described. He makes libation and incensement in front of the portable
barque of Montu .
The only difference is that he wears sandals, because he walks in the
temple on the sanctified ground, represented white under his feet. Some
food offerings are stacked on a low white table. The portable barque
has been off-loaded and has been placed in the shrine of a chapel
resting on a white solid base. The carrying bars can be easily seen, as
well as the artificial sledge which rests on a chest decorated of two
images of Pharaoh, whose arms are raised holding up the blue hieroglyph
which represents the sky

But ancient Egyptian quarrymen and stonemasons didn't have these modern tools. How, then, did they quarry and cut such clean lines in their obelisks and other monumental statuary? To find out how ancient Egyptians quarried huge pieces of granite for their obelisks, i traveled to an ancient quarry in Aswan, located 500 miles south of Cairo. This is where the ancient Egyptians found many of the huge granite stones they used for their monuments and statues.

One of the most famous stones left behind is the Unfinished Obelisk, more than twice the size of any known obelisk ever raised. Quarrymen apparently abandoned the obelisk when fractures appeared in its sides. However, the stone, still attached to bedrock, gives important clues to how the ancients quarried granite.

Hesire
was a high official who lived during the reign of
Netjerikhet (Dosjer) 2686 BC to 2613 BC
. His tutelary informs us of the many offices he
had held during his life.
Thus he was the 'overseer of the royal scribes', at
the head of the royal administration of Djoser.
His most spectacular title, however, was that of the
'greatest (or chief ?)of physicians and dentists'. It is not
entirely clear whether this title infers that Hesire himself was honored as the greatest of physicians and dentists, or rather that he
was merely responsible for the administration of physicians and
dentists. But whatever the case, the distinction between 'physicians'
and 'dentists' in his tutelary does show a high degree of medical specialization at this early stage of the history of Ancient Egypt..
